Answer:
Her error was multiplying numerator by numerator ( that is Quantity of Bone-shaped treats)
Step-by-step explanation:
Sarah's calculation
Let
x = cost of 12 Bone-shaped treats
Quantity of Bone-shaped treats : price
5 : 3.5 = 12 : x
(5/3.5) = (12/x)
Cross product
3.5x=60 (Here is her error)
x=17.14
Correct calculation
Quantity of Bone-shaped treats : price
5 : 3.5 = 12 : x
5 / 3.5 = 12 / x
Cross product
5 * x = 3.5 * 12
5x = 42
x = 42 / 5
= 8.4
x = $8.4
Her error was multiplying numerator by numerator ( that is Quantity of Bone-shaped treats)
Instead of multiplying Quantity of Bone-shaped treats by cost
Given:
Total length of tape in roll = 16.8 meters
Length of each piece = 1.125 meters
Number of pieces = 8
To find:
The remaining tape.
Solution:
We have,
Length of 1 piece = 1.125 meters
Length of 8 piece = 8 × 1.125 meters
= 9 meters
Total length of tape in roll = 16.8 meters
Remaining tape = Total length of tape in roll - Length of 8 piece
= 16.8 - 9 meters
= 7.8 meters
Therefore, the length of remaining tape is 7.8 meters.
Y=mx+b
y=(1200-2x)/3
y=1200/3-2/3x
y=400-2/3x
y=-2/3x+400
Lets say u want an item that originally cost $ 50.....and u get a 25% discount....then u are actually subtracting 25% of the original price.
25% of 50 .....turn the percent to a decimal..." of " means multiply
0.25 * 50 = 12.50.....so u would be subtracting 12.50 from $ 50 for the discounted price which is (50 - 12.5) = 37.5
here is another example...
u want an item that costs $ 90....and it is 25% off.....so u would be subtracting (25% of 90).......u would be subtracting (0.25 * 90) = 22.50 from the original price to arrive at the discounted price.
90 - 22.50 = 67.50...the discounted price
But let me show u something....taking 25% off is the same as paying 75%..
so lets say u want an item that costs $ 60....and u get a 25% discount...this means u r actually paying 75%.....ur paying 75% of 60.
0.75 * 60 = $ 45...this is what u r paying....no need for subtracting
